Kick-off the new year in style! What a year! The River Cottage Cookery School has gone from strength to strength, giving thousands of cooks the skills and confidence to produce fantastic, seasonal cookery in 2011. Why not kick-off the New Year in fine style by joining head chef Gill Meller and his band of River Cottage experts - including Mark, Tim and Steve - for Four Days at River Cottage? Our four-dayer is the ultimate kitchen experience - each day we'll cover a different core subject: bread, fish, meat and veg. You'll head back up the famous Park Farm track after this intensive, hands-on course with all the confidence, skills and enthusiasm to cook a range of delicious dishes at home or at work for your friends and family. Hugh will pop in and see how you're getting on during the week. Who knows, it might inspire you to become a chef yourself?
